I write in support of John Pepin Sr. for a seat on the town of Rumford Board of Selectpersons.

I have worked closely with him for a period of more than three years, and he has demonstrated honesty and integrity in all business and personal interactions in which we have both been involved. He is a retired Air Force colonel and his background as a military leader and veteran lends itself extremely well to other positions of leadership and service.

He also holds a position of management and leadership at the Rumford Paper Mill, which further exemplifies his broad base of experience.

I believe that he will serve the citizens of Rumford with honor and honesty.

I strongly recommend that the citizens of Rumford vote to elect John Pepin Sr. to the Board of Selectpersons on June 12.

Andre St. Pierre, Peru
